[ON HIATUS] A Twist Of Fate: Aftermath

Chapter 1

Aang had woken up from his nap. He was tired after the whole incident. Hama was not the kind old lady she was made out to be, and had been using the dark art of bloodbending to take people prisoner. He was content that he told Katara he loved her, and she loved him back.

"Aang?" He heard a voice from beside him. The young waterbender had been through much in the last few days.

"Hey, Katara." He said sleepily. Katara kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Can I ask those questions now?" she asked.

"Sure you can. Can I ask some questions too while we're at it?"

"Sure, Aang. Ok, so my first question is about us. My first question is how long did you like me?" she questioned.

"I have loved you ever since I met you. You were caring, persistent and beautiful." She blushed at this.

"How long did you like me?"

"I've liked you ever since Kyoshi Island, I think. What other reason would I be jealous?"

"True." She liked me all this time? I could've told her earlier and we would've spent so much more time together! Ugh, why am I so stupid?

The door creaked open and Sokka peeked his head in. "Aang! You're awake!" He hugged Aang tightly.

"Ow. Please stop crushing me." The warrior released his grip and apologized.

"Sorry, Aang."

"Sokka, could you please give us some alone time?" Katara asked with a hint of annoyance.

"I was just coming in here to tell you lunch is ready." Sokka told the pair.

"Lunch does sound good." Aang said, craving tofu.

"Yeah, I am pretty hungry." Katara admitted.

"Great! Meet you downstairs!" With that, Sokka slammed the door.

"Sokka can be so annoying sometimes." Katara said.

Aang attempted to get up and a wave of pain shot through him. He started using his staff as a cane like after Azula shot him. Katara rushed over to help him. "Careful, you don't want to fall over and injure yourself further." Katara and the young airbender walked down to the table together and pecked him on the lips.

"Look at that, Sugar Queen and Twinkletoes made up." Toph said, arms crossed.

"Hey, we're happy together!" Katara argued.

"Well Sokka over there doesn't seem too pleased with it." Toph remarked. Sokka was sitting at the other end of the table with a disgusted look on his face.

"Hey, what would you do if your sister and best friend started kissing all the time in front of you?" Sokka replied.

"Alright relax guys. Let's just eat. I'm hungry." Aang said to diffuse tension.

They all agreed and started eating. Aang put some tofu and noodles on his plate. Katara had some stewed sea prunes, Sokka had a plateful of meat along with Toph.

After everyone finished eating, Katara and Aang went up to his room to spend some time together. "Looks like they are pretty happy together, eh?" Toph nudged Sokka's shoulder.

"Yeah, they're pretty happy together." Sokka sighed and thought of Suki.
-----------------
Katara and Aang sat down on the bed and cuddled close to each other. They leaned in and kissed passionately. Katara was filled with joy, knowing that she was with the young man she loved. It sent a thrill down her back.They finally pulled apart.

"Wow. That's what I wanted to do for a long time." Aang sighed contently.

"Me too." Katara said dreamily and they both drifted off cuddling with each other.
